| dc.description | The Great Sphinx at Giza was part of the funerary complex of Pharaoh Kahfre and lies halfway between the mortuary complex and the Valley Temple. The Sphinx, which embodies the body of a lion and the head of a man acts as a guardian spirit for the entire complex. The Sphinx was carved from the Giza limestone and measures 157 feet long, 20 feet wide and 66 feet high. Unlike the pyramids there are no chambers inside. (IV Dynasty) | en |
